today nolan was talking about his elbow scrape. he told me how when he fell off his bike and hurt his arm it hurt really really bad and then it was bleeding but it stopped and now it is all plastic. it turns out the scabs are "plastic" :)

Our boy has some sensitive skin! I used a new "natural" lotion with spf when we went to the pool the other day... our in-town options are limited and i loathe the smell and feel of the burt's bees brand sunblock so that left me with say yes to carrots. it wasn't even a real sunblock but i figured it would be ok for some of our uses. weeeellll, the 2.6% of unnatural ingredients in the lotion have sent nolan into an itchy, bumpy mess! all over except his legs (i figure they got the gunk pretty well washed off in the pool). the burt's bees is the only one we have found that is good but like i said, i hate the feel!! i guess we are doomed to its use.
Anyway, tonight he saw the bottle of "rash lotion" and he said we should take it back. i told him that we couldn't do that but maybe we should write the company a letter. he says " I am going to write them too. I will write M O C D Y F G A and that says hey people-- your lotion burned my boy!"
Just for the record, I may let him write it ;)
